Hive Hopes For The Future is a segment focused on the technologies featured at the TEDMED Hive.
Medgadget and Nurture are preforming physical exams that you won’t recognize. This primary care experience is focused on building an environment around the patient-doctor relationship. There is no exam table, no scary equipment, only a familiar comfy recliner and a smartphone. Medgadget and Nurture have created the hardware and technology to read everything from your vision to your lung function, all using a smartphone. They can even visualize the blood vessels of your heart. The application can be downloaded for free on any patient’s smartphone. In the doctor’s office, the phone connects to innovative hardware. The entire exam can be performed and stored on the patient’s phone. This revolution in care provides immediate, patient-owned data and an office visit focused on the explanation and understanding of your health.
